BAR Kick's Off New Year with Abecedarian Collaborative!

Abecedarian Collaborative, 2013

September was full of excitement & anticipation for BAR members, as they put the final touches on their Collaborative, due this month.  This year the theme was Abecedarian, so the exchange was limited to 26 participants.  It also meant that everyone had to make 26 copies of their letter, plus 2 for BAR!

Each letter is 5" x 7", making a very cool deck of alphabet cards!

Be sure to check back as I post more details!

One Page Becomes Many

After a stormy night chased us all (except for one) from our September meeting at The Baird we met the following Thursday. We got up to speed with all the calendar changes, upcoming workshops, "stitch-it-ups" on the horizon, and plans for the 2011 "Booked" show. And then we exchanged the pages for the 2010 Collaborative project, "LUNAR - it's a Paper Moon!" This is only the third time I've participated, but once again I am amazed by the talent, creativity and care that participants put in to their pages. After focusing on my own pages for so long, and creating a twenty plus edition, suddenly in the span of minutes, an idea is transformed into a book (or will be soon) with variety and the personality of all the participants.
